Post Office scandal not caused by software errors, says combative Fujitsu boss | Computer Weekly
Briefly

"I think from my standpoint and my company's standpoint in Tokyo, we felt it was a moral obligation. Now, I said that back in January, and we have learnt an awful lot over several months of this inquiry about what other people and organisations did or did not do."
"Patterson was more combative in his latest appearance as a witness than during his first inquiry hearing in January, as well as when he spoke to a House of Commons business and trade select committee meeting the same month, when he apologised profusely for Fujitsu's role in the scandal and made lofty promises."
"Fujitsu has a 'moral obligation' to contribute to the costs of the scandal, which in financial redress to victims alone will cost taxpayers at least £1.8bn."
"Patterson admitted Fujitsu's culpability towards wrongful prosecutions of innocent subpostmasters and said the company expects to contribute to redress through the government, which will involve a conversation about what its contribution 'would look like.'"
